The role of Artificial Intelligence in shaping Library Management and its Utilization

Purpose. This study investigates the ethical dimensions surrounding the use of AI-driven cataloguing and classification systems, exemplified by ChatGPT, in library sciences. The research aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by exploring privacy, accountability, transparency, and bias issues associated with these technologies. Design/Methodology/Approach. The study employs a comprehensive literature review to analyze the current landscape of AI applications in libraries, emphasizing ethical considerations. It also assesses existing guidelines from associations like ALA and IFLA, and explores privacy concerns, biases, and the impact on job satisfaction. Findings. The study identifies gaps in current ethical frameworks and emphasizes the need for guidelines to evolve with technological advancements. Privacy concerns, biases in AI outputs, and challenges related to user trust and transparency are highlighted. The impact of AI on job satisfaction for librarians is discussed, acknowledging both opportunities and challenges. Originality/Value. This study contributes to the broader discussion on ethical AI by specifically addressing the underexplored area of AI-driven cataloguing and classification systems. It underscores the importance of aligning AI use with ethical standards, proposing strategies for mitigating biases and fostering user trust.

Due to AI, libraries have changed operations and user service swiftly. AI is becoming more important in education and research. Organizational improvements have enhanced product quality, consumer behavior prediction, inventory management, and AI data analysis. Mobile phones and search engines employ AI. Libraries may become big data hubs, analyze data, and provide remote access. Ability-enhancing AI is employed. Libraries read books and other materials to visually challenged persons using AI-driven text-to-speech technology. Library staff can focus on research because AI can perform regular chores. This chapter describes AI-assisted library administration. Most science fiction and movies include intelligent machines. AI is now commonplace. Several sectors need automation prep. Library AI development is slower than other institutions. Schools increasingly include it in their programs. Library AI development is studied. Librarians' automation-era potential and problems must be considered. This chapter covers librarianship's many obligations and opportunities.
